Hydrogen Bonding
Is the formation of hydrogen bonds considered an interaction between an acid and base?

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
I do not think it is the same thing because hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force, whereas with acids and bases, the molecule is changing and hydrogen is moved to a different molecule.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
I also think that is a separate process, since hydrogen bonding is an intermolecular force.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
No, its there is no actual bonding or transfer of electrons, its just that the polar sides are strongly attracted to each other

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
No, hydrogen bonding is a type of intermolecular force not a type of acid base reaction.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
Not necessarily. aqueous acids and bases disassociate in water so I would more closely relate it to an ion-ion interaction. Depending on structure, acids and bases may have the capability of hydrogen bonding, but simple interactions would not be.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
No not at all, one is based on a chemical reaction while the other is based on an intermolecular force, do not get both mixed.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
No, because no electrons are donated/accepted. H bonding is simply an intermolecular force that results between polar molecules! Hope this helps.

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
Lewis bases and Lewis acids deal with chemical reactions in which the Lewis base (in the reactant side of a reaction) donates the electrons to the Lewis acid (which is the product side of the reaction). Hydrogen bonding deals with intermolecular attractions in which a Hydrogen atom of one molecule is attracted to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, or F) of another molecule. Hydrogen bonding does not deal with chemical reactions

Re: Hydrogen Bonding
Hi! The formation of a hydrogen bond can be considered an interaction between a Lewis acid and base. In a hydrogen bond, there is always a donor (H) and acceptor (what is binding to the H atom. For this reason, a formation of a hydrogen bond can be considered an interaction between a Lewis acid and base.
